    Batch files commands are same as DOS commands. The only difference is Batch file has a collection of DOS commands which run in predefine sequence.

    @ : Does not echo back the text after the at symbol. This is most commonly used as @ECHO OFF to prevent any of the commands in the batch file from being displayed, just the information needed.

    More here : Batch commands

    The following batch file snippet displays a simple menu (without a question-mark at the end of the prompt) and prompts for the users choice, defaulting to option 2 after 5 seconds :

    ECHO 1. MS-DOS Editor.
    ECHO 2. MS-Windows. (default)
    ECHO 3. Defrag the hard-drive.
    ECHO 4. Quit.
    CHOICE /C:1234 /N /T:2,5 Please choose a menu option.
    IF ERRORLEVEL == 4 GOTO QUIT_MENU
    IF ERRORLEVEL == 3 GOTO DEFRAG_HD
    IF ERRORLEVEL == 2 GOTO RUN_WIN
    IF ERRORLEVEL == 1 GOTO RUN_EDIT
    :RUN_EDIT
    CALL EDIT
    :RUN_WIN
    CALL WIN
    :DEFRAG_HD
    DEFRAG c:
    :QUIT_MENU
    ECHO Safe to switch off machine now...
